- With the exception of a few crashes CJ took in all 3 moto, in the second moto CJ lead in a strong 5th position until he got cross rutted and went down allowing the pack to pass him, the in the 3 rd moto CJ got caught up in the start with 5 or 6 other riders and cam back to the middle of the pack when on the last turn he went over his handlebars doing 2 flips to land in the grass the took him out of the race and gave him an DNF.
- Shawn had a strong 1st and third moto taking 3rd in the 1st moto the in the 2nd luck was with Shawn along the back turn Shaw and another rider got tangled up causing both to go down, with this even Shawn battled back to a strong 5th when going in the last turn for the finish line Shawn Stator went out on him preventing him to finish in the top 6.
- Thor Rick had a very impressive ride with no major mechanical and no falls during all 3 of the moto.

[21 Apr 08] In the Joliet Motorsports Arsenal series Shawn took 1st in the 4-6 50cc JR, CJ took 7th but this was after a fall off a dragon back where CJ and another rider got tangled up and CJ went of the side of the dragon back and battled back from last to move all the way back to the middle of the pack, then in the 4-8 50cc inj class CJ took the hole shot on both the heat and the main and took 2nd in the heat but unfortunately blew out his clutch in the main and was able to roll in to finish 7th in the main. We expect quite a bit of podiums out of D17 this year!
